In the feature we learn that in a little more than 12 hours, Deitch oversees 8,424 visitors (25 of whom arrive by skateboard), is approached by 22 fans, sends 71 emails, answers 14 phone calls, has an afternoon snack at Yogurtland in Little Tokyo, and retires early, at 9:30 p.m., to prepare for a 5 a.m. tour he will give to Dasha Zhukova in the morning.

In order to “track” every move Mr. Deitch makes, WSJ. Magazine reporter, Stinson Carter, had to spend an entire daywith himon the last day of his first major exhibit: “Art in the Streets.” According to Carter: “The only thing harder that day than getting into the packed museum was trying to keep up with its director.”

In her paintings, Nora Kimball Mulheren comments on the unattainable ideals of perfection portrayed in the media. She begins with advertisements taken from fashion magazines and alters them to create wrinkles and creases that professionals would remove in the editing process. Her background in graphic design and illustration can be seen in this body of work along with a love/hate relationship with fashion.

Nora Mulheren received her BFA from Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island, and an MFA candiadate at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia where she was selected for the painting department’s New York Workspace residency at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts in New York City for fall of 2010. In addition to participating in juried competitions in California, Georgia, Rhode Island and Texas, the artist has exhibited her work at Gavlak Gallery in West Palm Beach, Florida; The Rymer Gallery in Nashville, Tennessee and just had a solo show this year at Beauregard Fine Art in Rumson, New Jersey. Nora Mulheren lives and works in New York.

Inspired by the notion of discovery through reflections, Celia Rogge takes a personal, inquisitive lens to everyday life. She focuses on finding beauty in the detail. She finds the hidden obvious in her work, the sublime in detail and the emotional in the unemotional. In her vibrant manifestation, New York Reflections, she applies her reflections to New York architecture and street photography and elevates the contours of this metropolis to another perceptive level. Before unseen ornamental structures filtered through the transformative power of light become visible from behind the apparent and engage the viewer in new ways.Born in Germany, Celia Rogge has lived and worked in New York for over a decade but has also called Berlin, London, Washington and Montreux her home. She has built a strong international reputation as a photographer over the past 10 years she has had her work exhibited by some of Germany’s prominent contemporary galleries and exhibition spaces in Berlin and Bremen: Galerie Friedmann Hahn, Galerie SchulzOnehundred, Veronica Pohle and Daub & Soehne. In the United States the renowned Galerie Mourlot in New York represents her.

Today we noticed new artwork by Meredith Hanson. Hanson graduated from Wheaton College in Norton, MA as a Studio Art major and an Art History minor. Art has been her passion ever since she was very young and it will always be a very important part of her life. She has experimented with various mediums over the years such as charcoal, watercolor, pastel, and oil paints. Before she was accepted to Wheaton, she spent several years working with pastels and focused primarily on still lifes and eventually moved on to landscapes. She loved working with pastels but felt that she should definitely try using oil paints. Her freshman year of college she was the only freshman to be accepted into one of the painting classes offered during the spring semester. She was surrounded by juniors and seniors but this only encouraged her to work that much harder as she was completely dedicated to her work.

We have created a roster of some of the leading emerging artists around the globe. To search our database, visit our art directory to sort by price, size, medium or theme. Empty Wall? Give it Love.

It's Monday and we have a new Brazilian artist to introduce who has a fascinating story of art, real estate and supermodels. The idea of cultivating challenging concepts goes along with Ricardo Bellinos background as an individual who sees opportunity where others may not. In Brazil, he partnered with John Casablancas and opened Elite Models in Sao Paulo which was successful in launching Gisele Bundchen and Adriana Lima. Years later Bellino met with Donald Trump, who told Bellino he had only three minutes to give his pitch, which resulted in a world record for the fastest multi-million dollar deal and Trump partnering with Bellino on a Brazilian real estate venture. From the experience, Bellino wrote a best selling book, “You Have Three Minutes” (McGraw-Hill).

The Deal Maker turned Art Maker by recycling 150,000 Nespresso coffee capsules and creating his first art project called "Pixtures" having his exhibition premiere being held in the historic pop culture arena of SoHo. Bellino’s creative inspiration expanded to almost one hundred pop culture figures, from art, entertainment, music, sports, politics and personalities. In the SoHo temporary installation built exclusevely to display Bellino's art exhibit comprised by seventeen 6.5 foot square images, including John F. Kennedy, Ghandi, Marilyn Monroe, Ray Charles, James Taylor, Valentino, Oprah and President Obama. Bellino contemplated the fast paced world of digitized images and envisioned a concept representative of functional object and celebrity defined as a reinterpretation of our cultural process. The Nespresso coffee capsules depict colors point by point -- up close it is a myriad of perfectly aligned colorful shapes, but step back and the iconic faces materialize. Prices are available upon request only at KiptonART. Email us (Bellino request) to inquire and click here to view works for sale.

Last night, Dean Project opened "On the Brink" featuring the second solo exhibition of the collaborative team: Tim Berg and Rebekah Myers. Continuing with their exploration of ideas of material value and the consequences of the actions we take to satisfy
our desires, Berg-Myers have created a new body of works. This current exhibition is meant to provide the viewers
with objects-situations where our choices are put to the test in how we understand the value of the things we do. Some of the works in the exhibition have titles such as “All that glitters” and “As good as gold” which echo
marketing tools employed in our contemporary culture to attract with a promise of guaranteed satisfaction if
consumed. Other works, such as “Against the tide “ and “Souvenirs” are examples of how the polar bear could become extinct
do to our treatment of the environment. Eventually nature will remain present in our culture in the form of man-
made objects that represent what once was real. These man-made objects end up in our homes where we will
value them without realizing that they represent the real thing. The exhibition dates are: September 15 - October 29, 2011 and Dean Project is located at 511 West 25th Street, 2nd Floor in New York City.

Every day, we see new art images uploaded on the site. Recently, Swedish artist Helena Blomljus registered with KiptonART. Helena started her career as an artist by forming the interiors in a room to enlist all the senses by transforming an old night club into a palace taken from the old tale Thousand and One Night, which she called My Heaven. She made several installations around Sweden in offices, parks, private homes and weddings while then she started to have more traditional exhibitions all over Sweden. Galleries and town halls, restaurants and hospitals have shown her paintings. One of the reasons for Helena starting to create her paintings was that she got cancer 2002. Creating became a healing process to her, and she has continued that process after having beaten cancer. She lives in the countryside on the west-coast of Sweden and is married with four children. At their little farm they have horses, sheep, hens and cats, which are walking outside the large windows of her studio right in the middle of nature. Learn more about her work here.

KiptonART is always excited for New York Fashion Week. For Spring 2012, we caught up with 2011 CFDA Menswear Fashion Designer of the Year Winner, MICHAEL BASTIAN. In 2010, Mr. Bastian collaborated with GANT and the line, GANT by Michael Bastian, is widely distributed in over 60 countries worldwide, in both GANT stores and independent retailers. During this busy time of year, we were thrilled when he shared his thoughts on the art world and took time to pick his TOP 10 artworks from KiptonART (and a few honorable mentions). Between the parties, the photos and the celebs in town, New York Fashion Week means big business for our local economy. Although summer is over, we have a lot to look forward this fall. Congratulations to all the fashion designers (and artists and fans) and be safe tonight during Fashion's Night Out. For the full Q&A with Mr. Bastian, read more in our Online Magazine!

KiptonART's featured artist of the week is 2011 KiptonART Rising Finalist, Dan Schwartz. We recently caught up with Schwartz in his New York studio and asked him a series of questions for our readers and collectors to get to know him better. Born in 1974, Dan takes a lawless approach to painting and has become popular online with our collector community. With an emphasis on process rather than product, his experimentation with technique and material is a veritable journey into the unknown.
